Apple releases 3G iPhone

The rumors have been swirling for months about Apple releasing a 3G iPhone. It’s finally here. Steve Jobs made the announcement today at the annual Apple Worldwide Developer Conference in San Francisco. Among the most significant features of the new iPhone:

  • it’s $199, instead of $399, unfortunately you have to sign a 2-year contract with the cellular operator
  • uses 3G (necessary if Apple wants to sell it in Europe and Asia)
  • has GPS and live tracking, which uses cell towers and Wi-Fi nodes to track your location
  • lots of new applications available thanks to the release of the SDK
  • Microsoft Exchange support (they’re going after the enterprise)

It will be available in 70 countries.
